Once upon a time in the middle of winter..

In spite of the DQ, it's still a great image. I do appreciate the need for the rules though, there has to be a line drawn to make sure something remains a photograph.

A good view of a subject that I don't find works well in b/w.

The Penthouse [Fisheye View]

Comment:
I see some effort at an interesting perspective on tis. Unfortunately, there seems to be a lot of artifacting around the edge of the building and the straight lines have a lot of stair-stepping showing. Try different resampling settings when you downsize images like this. The clouds also came through as grainy and patchy rather than the really cool look that I am sure they had in real life.

Tulip in the Snow

Comment:
Doesn't look frosted over like most of the other winter shots, so I assume you placed it there. It's nicely done. Simple and bold.

TIME TO SAY GOODBYE

Comment:
The isolation by contrast is not the most pronounced of the entries on this, but I do like the shot. The wrinkled maroon of the front leaf is nice.

Nice shot of the cat, and certainly isolated by contrast. Not thrilling me though. There's just not much else going on here to grab my interest.

Fallen Shroom

Comment:
Nice. I love the lighting on this and the texture of the underside of the 'shroom.

Ball Point

Comment:
Neat looking, though not quite as razor sharp as some drop shots I've seen. I suspect this one may have lost a lot in being scaled down to 640 pixels. A lot better than I can do however!

Quaint Charm

Comment:
Nice. I may have liked it just a touch more if the bridge were pulled in and down just a tad, it strikes me as just a touch too far over in the frame. Otherwise this is very good.

attack in chess

Some skew to the chessboard that you might not have been able to fix without making the doorway off skew instead. The edges of the pieces in front of the door seem overly harsh.
